Lena was a high school student who had been through a lot. She had lost her best friend in a car accident and had been struggling to cope with the grief. On top of that, she had been bullied in school for years and felt like there was no escape.
One day, Lena saw a girl in her class with a semicolon tattoo on her wrist. Lena didn't know what it meant, but she was curious. She approached the girl and asked her about the tattoo.
The girl explained that the semicolon was a symbol of hope and a reminder to keep going. It represented a sentence that could have ended, but didn't. The semicolon was a promise that your story isn't over yet.
Lena was moved by the explanation and decided to get a semicolon tattoo herself. Every time she looked at it, she felt a sense of hope and determination. She started to see the beauty in life again and found the strength to face her bullies and seek help for her grief.
The semicolon became Lena's promise to herself that she would keep going, even when things got tough. And she did. With time, she healed her wounds and became a happier and more confident person. And every day, she was grateful for the semicolon's promise that kept her going.
